On Sunday, July 14, during her second Eras Tour show in Milan, Taylor Swift experienced a surprising piano malfunction during the concert’s secret song segment. The 34-year-old singer had just performed a mashup of “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” and “Red” on guitar when the mishap occurred.
Swift transitioned to the piano to perform another mashup of “Getaway Car” from Reputation and “Out of the Woods.” However, before she could complete the opening lyrics, the colorful flower-painted piano unexpectedly malfunctioned. Taking a brief look beneath the lid, Swift addressed the crowd, saying, “We have finally broken this thing,” according to a video shared by a fan on TikTok.
A crew member quickly appeared on stage to fix the instrument. Another fan-shared video on X (formerly known as Twitter) captured the moment after the piano was repaired. “Oh, I did it!” Swift exclaimed while closing the lid, resuming her performance.
This incident followed Taylor Swift’s two concerts in Switzerland, where she praised the country’s beauty on her social media, calling it “stunningly beautiful.” Her record-breaking tour now heads to Germany, with upcoming shows in Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, and Munich.
Despite the technical glitch, Swift’s Milan performance continued to captivate her fans, showcasing her resilience and ability to handle unexpected challenges on stage. The 14-time Grammy winner’s adaptability and professionalism shone through, ensuring that her audience still enjoyed a memorable concert experience.
